New Earthquake rocks New Zealand's North Island


(AP)

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A magnitude 5.6 earthquake has rocked New Zealand's North Island. No immediate damage or injuries have been reported.

Monitoring agency GNS says Friday's quake was centered at a depth of 120 miles (200 kilometers) near the township of Tokoroa, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) south of Auckland.

On Sept. 4, a magnitude 7.1 quake hit Christchurch on South Island, toppling some buildings and causing two serious injuries.

Seismologists say aftershocks from that earthquake are continuing but Friday's quake was probably not related.
